Apple Mac OS X Server (Administrator’s Guide) - Manual (Page 497)

NetBoot 497
If you haven’t inserted a Mac OS X install CD, you will be prompted to do so.
The image file is created and saved in a NetBoot image folder in the following location,
where x is the volume number and imagename is the image name you provided:
/Library/NetBoot/NetBootSPx/imagename.nbi/
If the source for the Mac OS X software is on two CDs, you will be prompted to remove the
first disc and insert the second.
Installing Classic (Mac OS 9) on a Mac OS X Disk Image
You install Classic onto a Mac OS X image by copying a Mac OS 9.2.2 system folder onto an
“unlocked” NetBoot image. You must also select the Mac OS X image and start Classic using
the System 9 preference pane to complete the integration of Classic into the image.
Do not try to install Classic onto Network Install disk images. This procedure for installing
Classic only works for NetBoot disk images.
To install Classic on a Mac OS X disk image:
1 Make sure the disk image file (.dmg) is unlocked.
In the Finder, select the image file and choose Show Info from the File menu. If the file is
locked, click the Locked checkbox to unlock it.
2 Double-click the image file to mount the Mac OS X image on your server.
3 Drag a Mac OS 9 System Folder to the disk image.
You can use the System Folder from the NetBoot, Mac OS 9 CD that came with Mac OS X
Server, or use another Mac OS 9 version 9.2.2 System Folder that has been blessed
(previously run as Classic under Mac OS X.)
4 In your server’s System Preferences, open the Classic preferences pane and select the disk
image as the startup volume for Classic.
5 Click Start to start up Classic.
6 Shut down Classic, then eject the image file.
7 (optional) Lock the image file if you want to protect against inadvertent changes.
Installing the Mac OS 9 Disk Image
Included with the NetBoot software is a preconfigured Mac OS 9 disk image, provided on the
NetBoot, Mac OS 9 CD, which you install from the NetBoot.pkg file.
Warning Do not modify a disk image that is in use by any NetBoot clients. Doing so will
result in unpredictable behavior for the clients. Before modifying a disk image, make sure
no one is using the image or make a copy of the file and modify the copy.
